Kolkata The National Minorities Commission, which came to Kolkata on a two-day visit, praised the state government for its efforts to ameliorate the condition of poor Muslims.

The six-member team, headed by its Chairman Md Safi Qureshi on Tuesday met Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee who apprised them of the initiatives taken by the state to improve the condition of the Muslims.

“There are mainly two problems that are plaguing the Muslim community — lack of educational development and dearth of representation of the community in government jobs — and we are focusing on this. The chief minister admitted this and said they were trying to reverse the situation in the state,” Qureshi said after the meeting.
